Well, in the case of Stəm|a ("Stemla"?), I couldn't find Facebook links for the band... so I'll let this one pass (since that appears to be the only picture).

What other cases have have there been of him doing this?

(Antioch isn't breaking any rules, since Zenial.nl doesn't exactly mirror MA's exact content, but I'll let him know to only add the link if there's something on the page that isn't already on the band's MA page...)

hi dudes, mmm Im not tryng to disturb anyone, or point whoring, I spend much time here trying to complete the data base (contact the bands, looking for more bands etc). Is any wrong with the pictures?? do you wish only clear photos??

When I've added this link it wasn't a private community, that means the band change the access themselves... In this case, that link should be deleted.All VKontakte links I've added are valid, and almost all active Russian modern/new (and some of the old ones) bands have official band groups in this social network. Half of them have official websites, but plenty of them does not working.

Currently I'm working on the links section for Russian bands and it's plenty of dead/not working/broken/404/not found etc. links because it can be added many years ago and it seems I should care about links myself to make band pages (especially Russian) looks better with only working links.

Moreover, he's not even able to merge members togetherVsevolod Kalenda from Riverdale is involved in another band so I had to couple both entries, don't tell me "Vsevolod Kalenda" is a common name in Belarus

I don't think this was mentioned in the rules, but he's been adding artist information (birthdate, location etc) one by one. I didn't see any artists where he added multiple information all in one, so I'm fairly sure it's deliberate.

Most of his points come from reports, I think. He's reporting quite a lot of female artists who are given as "male", among other things, reports which have thus far been valid each time. I've told him about the "one-by-one" modifcation thing, but otherwise I don't see a problem with him.

I'm a layman when it comes to these things, but the IP points to Cardiff, Wales/London, England. No idea how meaningful this is. I think that's the best we can do. Seems like he/she is at it again, btw (provided it's the same person, should be banned shortly in any case). This time the IP says Aberdeen, Scotland, which is also the given location for Murustrictus.

I noticed on this one that an incomplete and incorrect lineup was added - the band lineup even listed things like (Vocals - 1st album), and the lineup was in the additional notes, but only part of the lineup from the additional notes was added to the album, and one of those members was credited incorrectly, with "Vocals, Keyboards, Drums (early)" when he did not perform drums on that album, and a drummer was listed in the additional notes. http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Di ... row/216275

Didn't check over a lot, but it seems like more incorrect information could have slipped through.

edit: the previous album had this lineup listed, evidence of paying little attention to the information being added.
